Posted

Big thanks to all the Hamiltonians who visited the Hamilton LRT Advocacy and Hamilton Light Rail table that was set up inside the Evergreeen Storefront at 294 James Street North to answer questions about the Hamilton LRT project during Supercrawl.

Lots of people also visited the Metrolinx Light Rail Vehicle on King William just east of James, and CBC Hamilton turned LRT support into an ingenious art piece in their beautiful office at 118 James Street North.

Supercrawl was a celebration of a more hopeful Hamilton - a city that believes in itself and is excited about the future. LRT support is also tied into this hopeful, ambitious view of the city as a place that supports and encourages creativity and growth.

We are proud and excitied to be a part of this developing future for our great city!

Featured Statement

As a business owner in and resident of Hamilton Ward 3, I fully support the LRT plan moving forward. There will be inconvenience and impact, for sure, but the longterm gain and benefit of the LRT is unquestionable. Businesses have to adapt and evolve to changing circumstances, and we see this as one of those times -- and at the end, there will be new infrastructure in place to help our businesses. It is totally worth it.
